	<h2>Snow</h2>
	<p>
		I woke up to find the world outside my window covered in snow.
		Needless to say, I wasn&apos;t happy about it.
		I&apos;ve never been a fan of the snow.
		It&apos;s cold and wet, and I&apos;ve got to bike through it.
		I didn&apos;t snap a photo like I should have though, as I didn&apos;t realise it wasn&apos;t going to stay long.
		I figured I had time to get ready, get dressed, and head out; I&apos;d snap the photo then.
		By the time I headed out the door though, all snow on all the paths was gone, as was much of the snow elsewhere on the ground.
		By the time I arrived back home, it was almost completely gone from everywhere else, too.
		It wasn&apos;t anywhere near as bad as I&apos;d feared when I got up.

	<h2>Earring</h2>
	<p>
		I stopped by my workplace after they opened.
		I couldn&apos;t see my lost earring, and none of morning crew had seen it either.
	</p>
	<p>
		I picked up some twenty gage jewellery wire, as that&apos;s what my earrings seem to be made of.
		I think an entire 7+ metre segment of wire cost about as much as one of my earrings did.
		I could make a tonne of earrings with that too, they&apos;ve just all got to be the same colour.
		I need to find some needlenose pliers before I can try to recreate my erring though.

	<h2>Religion</h2>
	<p>
		In the segment I read today, Yahweh was being conceited again.
		He stated that someone - I wasn&apos;t clear on who - was born purely to serve Yahweh and glorify him.
		Because, y&apos;know, an all-powerful being can&apos;t simply be content knowing they&apos;re the greatest thing ever.
		They&apos;ve got to get people to glorify and praise them, so they can go on an even bigger ego trip.
	</p>
	<p>
		This concludes my interpretation of the first book of Nephi.
		I&apos;ll start the second book tomorrow.

	<h2>Drudgery</h2>
	<p>
		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			I have <strong>*so*</strong> much reading material to get through this week that I didn&apos;t have time to even <strong>*consider*</strong> researching outside the reading material.
			In this course, we&apos;ve got four main articles we&apos;ve got to read, and I&apos;ve got another four in my other course.
			One of the four for the other course is <strong>*four hundred forty-one pages long*</strong>!
			I even had to skip my $a[LUG] meeting this week to open up more time for reading the material, and I&apos;m still not sure I&apos;m going to make it.
		</p>
		<p>
			As for privacy, I&apos;m strongly in favour of it, to the point that I use $a[Tor] and the $a[EFF]&apos;s PrivacyBadger everywhere I go, and don&apos;t give out personal information to websites that really shouldn&apos;t have it.
			However, privacy wasn&apos;t my intended focus of my post.
			Rather, the issue I was trying to discuss is usability.
			When different content is shown to different users, it makes sharing links and even finding the information you&apos;re looking for rather difficult.
			Likewise, my mention of JavaScript overuse wasn&apos;t intended to be about privacy, and definitely wasn&apos;t something I could cite the Stallman on.
			I was merely brining up usability and accessibility issues, once more.
			I&apos;m totally on board with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but like you said, the tend to care about privacy, and their articles reflect that.
			While I agree with them, their stance is irrelevant to the topic of usability.
		</p>
		<p>
			Stallman&apos;s stance is that non-trivial, non-free JavaScript is bad, so to cite him, I&apos;d need to talk about that.
			However, I actually completely disagree.
			Non-free JavaScript is an issue, sure, but it&apos;s no more of an issue than the non-free webpages it makes its home on.
			Unless the entire page is released under a free license, I have no reason to care whether the JavaScript the page uses is free.
			Non-free $a[XHTML] isn&apos;t magically okay while non-free JavaScript magically isn&apos;t.
			Non-free is non-free, regardless of whether the item in question is classified as &quot;software&quot; (the JavaScript) or &quot;content&quot; (the $a[XHTML]).
			I can understand the stance that non-free is always okay, and I can understand the stance that it&apos;s never okay, but Stallman&apos;s inconsistent opinion makes him not a source I can agree with, let alone cite to back any argument I&apos;d ever make.
			I&apos;ve quit reading what Stallman has to say, as he so rarely has a sane viewpoint, and when he does, that same viewpoint can be found from several more-credible sources, so I don&apos;t miss anything.
		</p>
		<p>
			What resources would I use for my next website?
			When I get time, I&apos;d like to learn Perl.
			I might use that to replace my current $a[PHP]-based build scripts.
			While my website is composed entirely of static pages, those static pages are constructed via a $a[PHP] script that performs several tasks, such as adding the content to the page template so all pages look uniform, building the navigation, signing the pages, et cetera.
			The built pages are uploaded as static $a[XHTML], but on my laptop, the source code does have several dynamic components.
			If Perl terns out to be a good replacement for $a[PHP], I&apos;d probably replace my build scripts.
			Other than that, I&apos;d basically do what I&apos;m doing now.
			I&apos;d like to learn better graphic design so my sites look better, but I&apos;d still choose a static setup using $a[XHTML], $a[CSS], a tiny amount of JavaScript, and some $a[PNG]s.
			Unless I&apos;m trying to build something interactive such as a Web forum, Web 1.0 is where it&apos;s at for me.
